First Reflective Statement


What is this course about?

Today I’m going to talk about new subject we have in this course. It is about academic reading and writing level 2 with our teacher Mr. Hedley.

What have I learnt so far?

  My reflection on the first three weeks is this course was very good. I learnt from this course how I summarize the stories and a passage more than 1000 words to 150 words; also how to make it very simple and easy.

What do I expect to get from this course?

 I expect from this course I will improve my language in reading and writing also how I will write emails and memos in agood way; also how I will read the books and newspapers in an easy way.

What do l know about hedley?

I like this subject because our instructor Mr. Hedley is a great teacher and he has a good way in explaining the course content; also he gives us a good introduction about himself and how many years of experience he had in this subject.

1st practice summary


The Hajj

Muslims from all the world go to Mecca to make the Hajj. All Muslims who are fit can do the hajj. The   ka aba is in the center of the mosque.  Before entering Mecca men have to shave their head and cut their nails but women also wear white long robes but uncover their face. You can see peoples from many cultures in Mecca. The first thing they must to do is walk seven times around the Ka aba. The second thing they do is walk seven times between Safa and Marwah. On the next day the Pilgrims go to mina and stay for one night. Next morning they travel to Arafat. On the same evening they travel to Muzdalifah and they Camp for one night. The next day they go back to mina and throw seven pebbles at each of three statues at the jamarat. Finally they go back to Mecca to make Tawaf around the Ka aba and go back to their home
